We’re back, and invitations are now unlimited

invite.gifAs many of you know, we’ve been offline for the last few days, working to address an issue with a server. We’re back, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

We’ve now moved Jaiku to a Google data center. This is something that we’d planned to do anyway, as part of our future transition to Google App Engine. Now that we’ve moved, we’ll need to ask you to review and accept a new terms of service and privacy policy. Head here to do that.

As a special thank you for your patience, we’d like to throw a little nest-warming party and open unlimited invitations for Jaiku.

We appreciate your support!

    I’m trying to work with the Jaiku API, but every JSON feed I retrieve contains the following text and nothing more:

    {
    “title” :

    Also, devku.org is non-responsive, but I expect that may be a simple DNS propagation issue.

  2. Jaiku回來了~送給大家數量無限的邀請函 » Meet See Says:

    […] 剛剛已經心灰意冷時再度按下Jaiku連結後…發現他已經回來了(感動~),這幾天Jaiku搬移到了Google data center,除了使用者登入後必須同意新的隱私權條款外,邀請函也改為無限數量發送。 現在登入宅窟後,選擇 People / Invite your friends 就可以看見已經發完不再補貨的邀請函已經回來啦~所以如果你想玩Jaiku可以直接留言給我就好了,我會儘快寄給你 […]

    Way to go guys - a mammoth effort from you all and it’s great to have you all back.

  4. Jaiku comes back with a new TOS and unlimited invites » VentureBeat Says:

    […] Of course, Google may not be doing anything at all with it just yet. Jaiku originally went down due to a server issue and it sounds like this forced a move to Google’s servers a bit ahead of schedule, according to its blog post. […]

    […] Segundo o blog do serviço, toda a infra-estrutura do Jaiku foi migrada para um data center do Google como parte de uma futura transição para o Google App Engine. Além de um novo termo de uso e política de privacidade, os usuários poderão contar com um serviço mais rápido e estável. […]

  6. Jérémy Says:

    Is the unlimited invitation is limited on time?

    Sorry for my poor English

  7. Bergholt Says:

    Excellent! I was wondering why the migration was taking so long, execution of previously planned migration makes sense. Thanks for the unlimited number of invites.

  8. Jyri Says:

    @Jérémy We’ve lifted the limit on invites for the time being, and we’re working on porting Jaiku to the Google App Engine. We’re not planning to re-introduce limits to invites at the current time.

  9. Jyri Says:

    @Blockquote the issue with the JSON feeds has been fixed. Thanks for the report.

  11. What’s New with Jaiku? Says:

    […] They’re back now, and they’re purporting to be offering unlimited invites to the private beta service. I’m still skeptical this is the case, since I’ve been on the “waiting list” to join Jaiku since the months before they were acquired by Google. I even re-submitted my application for an invite the moment I saw their blog post on the re-opening hit my feed this afternoon. Clearly the process hasn’t been fully automated yet, as I haven’t received a confirmation email. […]

  14. Jaiku ist tot, es lebe Jaiku :: RSS Blogger Says:

    […] Jaiku.com sind die Finnen, die vor einer halben Ewigkeit von Google gekauft worden sind und einen Twitter-ähnlichen Dienst am Laufen hatten. Jetzt sind sie wieder da mit der gleichen Oberfläche, da der Umzug bisher nur ins Google Data Center erfolgt ist, aber noch nicht auf Google App Engine, wie eigentlich zu hoffen gewesen wäre. Auf dem Jaikido Blog heisst es dazu: As many of you know, we’ve been offline for the last few days, working to address an issue with a server. We’re back, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

    Jaiku is back online and offering unlimited invitations!

    Those days are gone now. Jaiku’s unlimited invitations mean that existing users can send out more invites. No doubt that this little maneuver will propel Jaiku forward, I’m expecting to see mass influx of new Jaiku users in the next few weeks!

    Good to have you back! I suppose that nesting @ google will help you focus on the porting to GAE, instead of server-operations - problem solved n’est pas?

    […] Jaikuilua ja mindmappailua 30Aug08 Jaiku palasi usean päivän huoltotauon jälkeen linjoille. Jaiku siirtyi Googlen konesaliin ja ilmeisesti parantuneiden resurssien ansiosta samalla poistui Jaiku-kutsujen rajoitukset (kts. Jaikido-blogi). Ilman kutsua Jaikuun ei pääse vieläkään, joten pyydä kutsua, jos kiinnostaa. […]

  42. frederic sidler Says:

    Congratulations

    We are still investigating to port our application to Google App Engine. As GAE supports Python (a native Google language ;-) and Django (the framework we use). We are really waiting for the first real feedbacks and improvements you got in comparison with your old architecture and problems.

  43. wesley H Says:

    When are you going to fix devku.org — thousands of people have asked about this without a single response. I do not have access to api documentation, how am I supposed to build something with it?…

  44. Alberty Says:

    Can someone at Jaiku please send me an invite to join?? I requested an invitation a while back but haven’t gotten any response yet. Please pretty please invite me. Thanks.

  45. Zach Braiker Says:

    I just returned from Nokia’s OpenLabs08 in Finland where everyone was using Jaiku. I would appreciate an invite in order to keep in touch with new friends.

    […] Siirryin osittain Jaikusta identi.caan. Tämä tapahtui isoksi osaksi poliittisista syistä (identi.ca on avoin ratkaisu), mutta myös siksi, että Jaikun pikaviestirobotti, joka on ollut pääasiallinen tapani päivittää Jaiku-virtaani, ilmeisesti kuoli Suuressa Pimennyksessä. Sen piti palata linjoille jo viime viikolla, vaan eipä ole näkynyt. […]
